LIIIIIFFFFE

I've been pretty freaking busy lately. The junior portfolio review is just around the corner. On top of preparing for that I'm also trying to get stuff done for my actual classes (most of those assignments are also going to be put in the portfolio). Uugh... it's a very stressful time. They're only choosing about 40/75 students to go on to the senior sequence for next year. This is like life-changing stuff here. I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't get accepted to the senior sequence. I have no plan; I'm not really good at anything else other than Japanese and I feel like I've forgotten way too much to get back on that horse. I can't not get a degree, though. That would be worse than anything... I dunno. I'll probably have to make some sort of backup plan. I'm not setting myself up for failure or anything, I just want to be prepared for the worst. I'm honestly not sure of my standing compared to my fellow juniors. I know that there are certainly a few people who are way better than I am. I just hope they're all not planning on going into the new media concentration. But at this point I would just be really glad to get into any of them. The thing is that I really, REALLY don't want to have to stay behind for another year. I'm trying to use all of this for drive for trying my very hardest... I just want to turn it all in already. Once I've finished everything it's out of my hands and all I need to do is wait nervously for the results... but at least it would be one less thing that I would actually need to put copious amounts of energy in. I'm pretty glad I never got around to getting a job this year... I think it would have been way too hectic. I probably never got around to getting a job because it was already hectic enough on it's own I just never had time, lol. This year has been going by really fast, though. Only about a month of school left!

Here's a to-do list... I think this is it but I might be forgetting something. Hopefully I remember it before it's due, lol...

1. Finish (paint?) altered book (DUE MONDAY)

2. Fix how-to (fix link (onClick2 on last page) and slight jump in beginning) (DUE TUESDAY)

3. Write portfolio review essay

4. Fix process book for review

5. GET PORTFOLIO THINGS PRINTED (Monday) (Do I need screen shots of new media assignments?)

6. Make lease signing appt. with chuckanut

7. Finish first sequence of typo assgn. (DUE TUESDAY)

8. MEET WITH KENT AND ANOTHER TEACHER FOR PLAN OF STUDY (What do I need...?)

9. Buy portoflio

10. Storyboard for future animation project to put in portfolio (remember not to make it readable only to you)

Aaah... I think that's all that I can do at the moment... although if I sit here long enough I can probably think of 10 more things to add on... But now I'm going to go to sleep...
